Famous quotes containing the word sang:
“Calico Pie,
The little Birds fly
Down to the calico tree,
Their wings were blue,
And they sang Tilly-loo!
Till away they flew
And they never came back to me!”
—Edward Lear (18121888)
“I cannot say what loves have come and gone;
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (18921950)
“I respect the ways of old folks, but the blood of a rooster or a goat cannot turn the seasons, change the course of the clouds and fill them up with water like bladders. The other night, at the ceremony for Legba, I danced and sang my fill: I am a black man, no? and I enjoyed it like a true Negro should. When the drums beat, I feel it in the pit of my stomach, I feel the itch in my hips and up and down my legs, I have got to join the party. But that is all.”
—Jacques Roumain (19071945)
